orbital volume

Orbital volume refers to the total space inside the eye socket (orbit) that houses the eye, muscles, nerves, and surrounding tissues. It’s a three-dimensional measurement of this bony cavity. Understanding orbital volume is important in diagnosing and planning treatment for conditions like injuries, tumors, or deformities where the size or shape of the orbit may be altered. Accurate assessment typically involves imaging techniques like CT scans. Changes in orbital volume can affect eye position, appearance, or function, making this measurement a valuable tool in ophthalmology and maxillofacial care.
